A range of factors can increase the risk of sexually transmitted infections in overseas travellers. Since many people receive travel advice and vaccinations before they travel, nurses have an opportunity to offer education and advice to increase travellers' awareness of how they can minimise their risk. Interventions should be tailored to the individual and simple, direct questions should be used to assess risk.
